Re: Pass rushers, receivers on Bills' free agent wish list

Pass rushers may be a reach, with little showing outside of Williams ( who will be vastly overpaid ). Most others listed are suspect although I like DT/DE Jones of Tenny for his versitility and ability against the run. Put a OLB outside of him with some wheels ( Melvin Ingram or Nick Perry ) and you may have something.

WR's are easy to find in FA, which is why I dismiss any talk of drafting one high.

LT Jared Gaither should be a high priority, which would eliminate a big draft day need. Bell cannot stay healthy to justify any legit offer.

To be fair, Gaither has quite an injury-history himself. Gaither is still a clear upgrade over Bell though.

There are so many wrs available in free agency. I really want V Jackson, but we won't win a bidding war. I'd take Meachum though. If we don't get him, there are a bunch of good #3 wrs. Doucet, Harry Douglas, Chaz schiliens or Jerome Simpson would all be solid #3's

Kamerion Wimbley hasn't been released yet but he is should be a top FA pursuit.

We will definitely bring in a WR upgrade. I think an aggressive attempt to get VJax is what this team needs. that 6'-5" body along with a healthy Chandler should pay big time red zone dividends. Shoudl also free up Stevie a ton.

LT's just don't make FA, so we might have to be aggressive in the draft to get one worthy. Still gonna need to bring in a FA OT.

We will still have big needs at OLB and CB

I wouldn't mind seeing the Bills try to trade for Freeney.

You know they went back to 4-3, right?

Meachem would make me a happy camper this offseason.

Should be interesting. Its one thing to have the money and want to spend it, its a whole another thing to convince players to take it

Re: Pass rushers, receivers on Bills' free agent wish list

I hope the Bills overpay for Mario Williams. They overpaid for that bum Fitzpatrick. So, why not for a guy who is actually worth the money?

Yeah, 2 big needs coming up here. I hope we can fulfill at least one of them.

Chris Brown had a story at Buffalo Bills.com discussing what the Bills need in free agency. He had a Nix interview in it and indicated that our GM feels we need a second WR, OT, one or maybe two pass rushers (DE) and mentioned the always needing a CB or two. It sounded like he felt two of these needs be met through UFA.
